. History of the Association 

The first annual Intercollegiate contest in gymnastics was held 
March 22, 1899, at the New York University gymnasium, and 
was an unqualified success. While there was no association at 
that time, this meet has been regarded as the first meet of the 
Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Gymnasts of America, 
which was formed in the following year. The following colleges 
were present at the meeting in 1890: Amherst, Brown, Columbia, 
Cornell, Harvard, Haverford, Lafayette, Lehigh, New York 
University, Princeton, Rutgers, S>jirarthmore, Trinity, Union, 
University of Virginia, Wesleyan, Yale, and University of Penn- 
sylvania. From these participants the following entered the 
Association which was formed in the following year : Columbia, 
Harvard, Haverford, New York University, University of Penn- 
sylvania, Princeton, Rutgers, and Yale. During the year 1910 
Amherst and College of the City of New York were admitted 
to the Association. During the year 1911 Lehigh was admitted. 
University of Illinois was admitted in 1912, but remained only 
one year. Lehigh also dropped out in 191 3.

The Season of 1913-14 

The season of 1913-1914 was one of upsets and surprises, New 
York University being about the only team to fulfill expectations. 
It scored victories over Rutgers, Amherst, Yale and Columbia, 
and lost to Annapolis and Pennsylvania. The victories were due 
in general to the work of Cremer, who scored a majority of its 
points. University of Pennsylvania was not always consistent 
and did not have as successful a season as its material seemed to 
predict, as it lost to Annapolis and Princeton but won from 
Haverford and New York University and tied Yale. T. F. Clark, 
Miller and Finletter were the consistent winners, while Hagert 
did well on the horse. Princeton had a good dual meet team, 
with Wolf, Roberts and Vroman the star performers, and won 
meets from Columbia and University of Pennsylvania but lost 
to Yale. The battle between Wolf and Miller of Pennsylvania 
gave a foretaste of what was going to happen at the Intercolle- 
giate meet. Yale had a team which was strong in spots. Its 
horsemen were very good, and Maxim as an all-round man 
gathered many points for his team. The season brought to light 
Chism, a new man at tumbling, and the work of Labovitz on the 
parallels was of a high order. Yale won from Rutgers and 
Princeton, tied Pennsylvania, and lost to New York University. 
The season at Haverford served to bring to a climax the work 
of Waples, who has been improving steadily the past four years. 
The team lost to Pennsylvania and Brown and won from Colum- 
bia. Rutgers was also making a new champion in Summerill, 
while losing to New York University and Yale and winning 
from Columbia. Amherst had a fair season, winning from 
Harvard and losing to New York University. The work of 
Ralston on the horse and McTernan in tumbling was very steady 
and won several firsts in its meets. Harvard had one good all- 
round man in Gates, who scored a majority of its points in the 
meets wlfich it lost to Amherst and Brown and tied with Dart- 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. S 

mouth. Columbia was hampered by lack of material and lost 
its meets to Haverford, Rutgers, New York University and 
Princeton. The all-round work of Doyle was worthy of note. 
Two new arrivals in Brown and Dartmouth have been develop- 
ing strong teams and it is hoped that they may soon join the 
Association. This season an effort was made to secure uniform 
judging in all dual meets as well as the Intercollegiates. To 
that end President Miller appointed Dr. Meylan of Columbia, 
Mr. E. E. Krauss of Philadelphia, and Mr. P. R. Carpenter of 
Amherst, a committee to prepare a list of men from which judges 
were to be selected for all dual and annual meets. The committee 
endeavored to secure men of known ability and mature judgment 
who have no afifiliations with the contestants, in any way. The 
work of the judges at this meet was more satisfactory than that 
of the past two years, but further changes will doubtless be made 
in the list another year. The men on the list for this year were 
as follows : 

New England— H. B. Seikel, Waltham, Mass. ; Dr. C. B. Lewis, 
Director Physical Education, Worcester Public Schools, Worces- 
ter,, Mass.; L. Schroeder, Y.M.C.A. College, Springfield, Mass.;

meeting is to select judges and choose place of holding the Inter- 
collegiates on Friday, March 2"], 1914. 

A list of the names of judges selected by the committee, com- 
posed of three men and appointed by the president of the I. A. 
A. G. A., was read. 

(i) Motion made and seconded that this list as submitted be 
accepted. 

(2) Moved and seconded that two men be appointed at meets 
to check each other on summation of points scored. This is for 
the purpose of eliminating any error that might occur from a 
single scorer. 

(3) Moved and seconded that list of judges selected by the 
committee be used for dual and Intercollegiate meets. 

(4) Suggestion made that point scored for approach and 
retreat be eliminated and allowed to count in the exercise. Not 
passed. 

(5) Motion made and seconded that the judges for the Inter- 
collegiates be selected from this list by the committee. 

(6) Moved that, if one or more colleges object to a certain 
judge or judges, they are privileged to object to the committee 
through the president of the Association, with reasons, before 
Intercollegiates are held. Objections must be made to the presi- 
dent of the Association not later than three weeks before the 
Intercollegiates. Seconded. 

(7) Motion made and seconded that the president learn from 
Columbia University if holding of Intercollegiates in their 
gymnasium is possible. If so, vote is to be made by mail upon 
choice of the three possible places of holding the Intercollegiates— 
Yale, New York Universrty and Columbia. Intercollegiates to be 
held on Friday, March 27. 

(8) Motion for adjournment made and seconded.

The Sixteenth Annual Intercollegiate 
Meet 



The sixteenth annual meet was held in the Gymnasium of Yale 
University on the night of March 26, 1914. The entry list was 
large and the standard of work higher than that of the past two 
years. The work of T. Clark of Pennsylvania on the horizontal 
bar was high class and easily won him first place over Cremer 
of New York University, while Gates of Harvard by his steadi- 
ness took the third point. 

The horse was very closely contested and the result was a 
toss-up between several men. Cremer of New York University 
finally emerged a winner on the length of his combination, while 
Gordon of Yale with a beautifully executed series of free circles 
took second place. Third place was a close race between Ralston 
of Amherst, Vroman of Princeton, and Maxim and Longstreth of 
Yale, but the Amherst man took the place with the variety of his 
figures and his steadiness. 

The parallel bars furnished a surprise when the champion, 
Clark of University of Pennsylvania, was awarded second place, 
to Waples of Haverford. On the work done it seemed certain 
that Clark had won the event, but the judges saw it otherwise 
and gave the honor to Waples. Cremer of New York University 
came in for third place. Labovitz of Yale was making a strong 
bid for a place and would probably have scored had he not 
slipped off the apparatus. 

The rings furnished the most hotly contested event of the 
evening and a battle royal took place between Miller of Pennsyl- 
vania and Wolf of Princeton. It was either man's event until 
the last, when Wolf with his inverted maltese cross. and general 
form managed to shade his opponent enough to take the place. 
It seemed that Long of Princeton had won third place, but the 
judges awarded it to Waples of Haverford. 

For the lifth year in succession the club swinging event was 



StALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 15 

won by a Ra+gers man, this time Summerill proving the champion. 
Dutcher of New York this vear took a clear title ^o second place, 
instead of tieing for it as last year. Nutt of Pennsylvania took 
third. 

The tumbling was the poorest event of the evening and was 
very ragged. It may be that the men were unused to working 
on the fast tumbling felt, but it was almost impossible for a 
single contestant to go through a combination without a series 
of falls. Chism of Yale finally proved the lucky man and secured 
first place, while Vroman of Princeton was awarded second, and 
Hogan of Princeton and McTernan of Amherst divided the thira 
point. 

The contest for the all-round championship was very closely 
fought and was in doubt until the end of the last event when 
Cremer of New York came through a winner by a fraction of a 
point over Clark of Pennsylvania, last year's champion. This 
event also settled the team championship and gave it to New 
York University for the first time since 1907. Clark led his 
opponent in four out of the five events, but the mark given to 
Cremer on the horse was high enough to give him the place. 
Waples of Haverford scored the third place. This left Pennsyl- 
vania in second place and Princeton in third by a half point over 
Yale. The other colleges divided up the remaining points.

professional for a prize ; or with a professional where gate money 
is charged ; nor has ever at any time taught, pursued, or assisted 
at athletic exercises for money or for any valuable consideration. 
But nothing in this definition shall be construed to prohibit the 
competition between amateurs for medals, cups, or other prizes 
than money, and it is hereby expressly declared that this defini- 
tion is not retroactive, and that all past acts of amateurs shall be 
judged in accordance with the provisions of the old definition; 
and that the foregoing definition shall take effect on and after the 
first day of February, 1900. 

To prevent any misunderstanding in reading the above, the 
Association draws the attention to the following explanations 
and adjudications: 

An athlete has forfeited his right to compete as an amateur, 
and has thereby become a professional, by — 

(a) Ever having competed in an open competition, i.e., a 
competition, the entries to which are open to all, irrespective as 
to whether the competitors are ^mateurs or professionals, and 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 63 

whether such competition be for a prize or not, in any athletic 
exercise, viz., base ball, rowing, cricket, etc. 

(b) Ever having competed for money in any athletic exercise. 

(c) Ev^r having competed under a false name in any athletic 
exercise. 

(d) Ever having knowingly competed with a professional for 
a prize, or where gate money is charged, in any athletic exercise. ■ 
Nothing in this rule shall be construed so as to consider a man a 
professional who has played on a college team against a pro- 
fessional team. 

(e) Ever having taught or pursued as a means of livelihood 
any athletic exercise. 

(f) Ever having directly or indirectly accepted or received 
remuneration for engaging in any athletic exercise. 

An athlete shall hereafter forfeit his right to compete as an 
amateur, and shall thereby become a professional, if, at any time 
after the foregoing definition shall take effect, he shall — 

(i) Directly or indirectly receive payment for training or 
coaching any other person in any athletic exercise. 

(2) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered in teaching any athletic exercise. 

(3) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, manager, director, or in 
any other capacity at any professional exhibition or contest of 
any athletic exercise whatsoever. 

Note. — Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the accept- 
ance by any amateur of his necessary traveling expenses incurred 
as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, or starter, in going to and from 
the place of any amateur contest. 

(4) Directly or indirectly run, manage, or direct, for prospec- 
tive profit, any professional exhibition or contest. 

An amateur shall not forfeit his right to compete as an amateur, 
and shall not become a professional by — 

(a) Receiving compensation for services rendered as ticket- 
taker or ticket-seller at any contest or exhibition of amateur 
athletics. 

(b) Receiving compensation for services personally rendered 



64 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY

or periodical.

any sporting, athletic, or other paper or periodical.

of the college or university he claims to represent, stating that

standard Policy 



A Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a 
Manufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality. 

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a 
profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions 
of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list 
price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out 
attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are 
absolutely essential; but their real purpose w^ill have been served when the 
manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured 
his order from the retailer. 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who 
does not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading 
but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and 
grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts," 
which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer 
and the jobber are assured ; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices 
to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably 
leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are 
practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the nnanufacturer. The jobber insists 
on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this 
demand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheap- 
ening and degrading of the quality of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 1 5 years ago, in 1 899, 
A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic 
Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as " The Spalding 
Policy." 

The " Spalding Policy " eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding 
Goods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding 
Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is 
assured a fair, legitimate and certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and 
the consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition. 

The " Spalding Policy " is decidedly for the interest and protection of the 
users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways : 

First. —The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods. 

Second.— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in 
purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required 
in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their 
respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessary 
quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply 
consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices— neither more nor less— the same 
prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. 

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated 
exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

This briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful 
operation for the past 1 5 years, and will be indefinitely continued. 

In other words, "The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal" for everybody.

PRESIDENT, t^ 



An article that is universally given the appellation "Standard" is thereby 
conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar 
nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit 
of currency, because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, 
and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp 
thereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting and 
other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service 
Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a 
great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against 
counterfeit products — without the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public 
Opinion" to assist them. 

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection" against misrepresentation and 
"inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the 
" Manufacturer." 

A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality," for 
thirty-eight years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout 
the world as a Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the 
U. S. Currency is in its field. 

The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mzirk and 
maintaining the Standard Qyality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi- 
ous as is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency. 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other 
consumers w^hen he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade- 
Mark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic 
Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by 
insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which 
they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining 
Standard Qyality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual. 

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of 
inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold 
and a guarantee to protect must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac- 
turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Quality 
depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than 
poverty in quality — and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
